Insoles for Supination

When it comes to a strong, healthy stride, more of us are out of alignment than you think!

Supination affects a great many people worldwide. Here, we talk you through the definition of the condition, what’s likely to cause it, and how OrthoSole insoles can be used to keep damage to your ankles at bay by delivering extra support and stability to your feet.

What is supination?

If your feet roll outwards excessively while you’re standing, walking or running, you have supination. You may also hear supination referred to as underpronation; it’s the complete opposite to overpronation, which is more common and is explained in more detail here.

Supinating isn’t dangerous in itself – but it does put a great deal of stress on the ankle, making it more prone to sprains and other injuries. Supination can also lead to an increased risk of:

Pain in the ball of the foot (metatarsalgia)
Plantar fasciitis
Achilles tendonitis
Shin splints
Bunions and calluses
Hammertoes
Stress fractures in the feet and legs

How can you tell if you are supinating?

The clue could be in a frequently worn pair of shoes. Look at where the most wear is occurring – if the outer part of your sole is worn down, you are a supinator. If you want a professional opinion, ask your doctor or podiatrist to perform a quick analysis.

Genetics play a role in the development of supination, but other causes include:

Wearing ill-fitting, overly rigid and/or unsupportive footwear

Poor posture and/or misalignment elsewhere in the body

Bad form whilst exercising

Old injuries that have weakened the bones and tissues in the feet or ankles

Constant or excessive impact on hard surfaces during exercise

Too much exercise

Not enough exercise

Standing for long periods at a time

What can you do to correct the way you stand and walk?

Regardless of whether you were born as a supinator or you have developed the condition over time, it’s important to accommodate for your unusual gait pattern to avoid injuries and prevent other problems from developing.

Certain exercises can help to loosen any tight muscles and strengthen the tendons and soft tissues in the feet. Calf stretches, plantar fascia stretches, and knee stretches are particularly effective.Be sure to wear proper footwear that provides extra cushioning, enhanced arch support and enough toe room – and for even more peace of mind, wear orthotic OrthoSole insoles in your shoes to further control the motion of your feet.
